Title
Parallel Implementation of Lagrangian Dynamics for Real-time Snakes.
Abstract
Snakes as originally proposed by Kass, Witkin and Terzopoulous are active contour models which minimise an expression of energy to locate image fea- tures. The original formulation involves hundreds of state variables and does not submit to a real-time implementation. We explore the use of a B-spline model of the feature to reduce the state space of the problem. Using a coarse to fine feature search and Lagrangian Dynamics we demonstrate a real-time, parallel implementation of B-spline snakes on a network of transputers.
